hey i am about to buy a salvage title 1999 hatchback. its missing both fenders both doors and the trunk. it has under 80K and is selling for 3000. do you guys think its a good deal?

 

well how is the interior? and second it being a salavge title means the amount it is worth is drop a huge amount! i honostly think you can buy one around the same milage and year, non salvage, *complete* for around that. where are you looking at getting it from?

 

No, thats way to much for a salvage hatch, even worse it has no doors or fenders or hatch. Dont spend that much!

 

Ya, that's too much.

 

the car only has 65k on it and other then the missing parts the car is in perfect condition. im not concerned about resale because i plan on keeping it as a project. still not worth it?

oh yeah since its a 99 i wont have to convert the front end.

 

Still not worth it. Doors cost an arm and a leg. Then you'll have to paint the whole car as well. Find another one.

 

Dude I paid 1300 for my 1995 complete, with a clean title, just a blown motor. Thats definatly too much.

not tru.... just find the same color doors, fenders and hatch used.

depends what in it for a engine.... and like i asked from what typeof place you buying it from?

 

i had plans on a paint job anyways. i am buying it from a person who bought it off a junkyard. how much do u think i can get all the parts for used?

 

depends where you get the parts.... junk yard could be pricey. ebay if availabe cost be cheeper. but ask how much they got it form the junk yard for...a nd they say more then 2000 laught in there face then offer them 1800 and a hand job. Thats how people work around here. just usually they say no anyways. i would never say so to one!

 

offer 1500 or around that price range cause parts and labor don't come cheap, just let u know from experiences. also check your motor for missing parts.

 

to much IMO

Please dont buy that... I'll sell you my 99 cx with 120,000 miles and near perfect everything else for 6g.(I know thats a lil high, but its my baby!)

 

who damn, i just got my sister a 98 cx hatch back with slight body damage and a fucked up ball joint for $2700 with under 50k on it.i would have bout it for my self if it wasnt auto and red damn i really hate red cars deff too much.and this place is way over priced as it is.if its a yard you are buying it from ask them to give you the parts for free or have them put it on.if its a saftey hazard and they tell you that you can drive it away that day they have to fix it before hand.

 

i just noticed you are in sf.did you go to california auto dismantling? thats were wee just picked up the car for my sister.if so talk to fahim or isacke and they usually will hook you up if you buy a complete car frmo them.

 

I only paid $3900 for my 96 Midori Green Hatch with 124,375 miles on it, and it is in damn near mint shape, inside and out.Even though its a 99, I wouldnt pay more than 1500 for it.

I paid $5,000 for a mint 2000 dx hatch special edition.......brand new brakes and windsheild........90,000 miles

 

is it a complete car and working car? 3000 is too much for a salvage car with missing parts if complete and near mint possible.. i bought my 97 hatch salvage title due to an accident for 1000 even. it was complete. except for motor.
